West Virginia University’s College of Business and Economics was recently ranked No. 9 in the nation for Top Undergraduate Business Schools for Return on Investment out of 124 top-ranked business schools.

Top-ranking ROI business schools provide their students with a robust balance between tuition costs and initial salary upon graduation. In this day and age, when students are leaving college with substantial debt loads and entering a challenging job market, it is refreshing to know that there are still “value” programs available that provide students a leg up as they start their careers.

“Congratulations to all of us, but particularly to our students who have made a great investment decision,” said Milan Puskar Dean Jose “Zito” Sartarelli. “Now, more than ever, parents are focusing on their children getting a great education, job placement, and good return on their investments. This ranking reinforces the value of a business education at B&E and motivates us even more to ensure that such a return is always there.”
